Have a chance to pick up a 24V wind turbine fairly cheap.
Here is the dilemma. I have a 12V solar array. Is there any way to
easily and cheaply amalgamate the two?
I can easily rewire the batteries to a 24V configuration, but, will the
solar panels be useless to me?

Put 2 panels in series.

Well.. That was easy.. Thank you.
So POS to NEG then.. I gotcha. I assume I'll need a 24V charge
controller for these as well then.

And (I assume) a 24 volt inverter, or switch to all 24 volt loads.
